I've been shooting a Bushmen Longbow for about a year now. I had shot recurves for about 15yrs, and was interested in longbows, but, had never shot one that impressed me.I was amazed that a longbow could be so smooth, AND fast.There was none of the hand-shock that I had experienced with other designs.I like to shoot 3D competitions, and have had lots of fun,(and some success) with my Bushmen Bow.It has a riser of Bloodwood with Purpleheart fishtails, and phenolic accents, 44# @ 27" and slings an arrow downrange like a carbon recurve!The owner and bowyer of Bushmen Bows, Steven Jewett, is now making my "dream bow".It is in the oven as I write this!My new bow will have a glass riser, with double carbon limbs. I wanted a take-down bow, so I could ride my motorcycle to shoots with my friends. Steve is an amazing artist, and I can't wait to see/shoot my new bow.If you are looking for a longbow, call Steve at Bushmen...772-332-9499. He's a nice guy and his craftsmanship has to be seen to really be appreciated. Steve has a new website with lots of pictures of his bows.Just search for Bushmen Bows, and it comes right up.Good shooting everyone...I love traditional archery, and have helped many people to also love it over the years.I give my time freely, asking only that they share Traditional Archery with others.

Yeah, I shot one once, and I agree. I think this guy's bows should get more publicity. I think he'd get that by being a sponsor hear.
